I am using the following code to work out an inc and ext VAT price:

$('#totalexvat').text(totalprice);
var vat = totalprice / 100 * 17.5;
vat = roundNumber(vat,2);
$('#totalincvat').text(totalprice-vat);

Sometimes i get .3 or .9 instead of what I would like to be .30 or .90 because it's money, is there a way to do this?
